Chapter 894 - Chapter 894 Chapter 894 Aggressive (1st Update)

Chapter 894: Chapter 894 Aggressive (1st Update) Chapter 894: Chapter 894 Aggressive (1st Update) It seemed that she felt the greed in the shopkeeper’s eyes, and Ye Xiaochan’s pretty face instantly turned pale, her body trembling slightly, appearing very frightened.

“Shopkeeper Uncle, please give us a few more days. Now that our young master is recovered, we will soon be able to pay the full amount for the shop!” Ye Xiaochan begged submissively.

The shopkeeper, however, remained unmoved and let out a cold laugh.

“Little girl, I’ve heard these words no less than ten times already, and I’m tired of hearing them! Let me tell you, if you can’t bring the Silver today, nothing else matters!”

A look of despair appeared on Ye Xiaochan’s face.

The young master had been ill for so long that they had already spent all their savings.

Ye Xiaochan had even pawned the clothes she carried with her, and now all she had left to wear was a single thin garment.

One could say they were completely out of options.

Otherwise, she, a young girl, wouldn’t have been forced to sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night to steal cornbread.

And now, with the shopkeeper being so aggressive, demanding all the restaurant debts be paid today, how could this be possible?

Ye Xiaochan felt very uneasy and couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Xue An, hoping her young master would have some solution.

But at that moment, she realized that her young master was just lowering his head, not saying a word.

A look of disappointment crossed Ye Xiaochan’s face.

Yes!

The young master had just recovered from a serious illness; how could he have any solution?

Just then, the shopkeeper spoke, “What’s the matter? Got nothing to say? Master Xue, you’re a scholar after all. Paying for your lodging is only natural! You must understand this principle, right?”

The shopkeeper appeared polite on the surface, but when he said the words “Master Xue,” his tone was deliberately harsh, full of mocking intent.

Especially when he saw Xue An keeping his head down without speaking, he showed utter disdain.

Good-for-nothing bookworm!

That saying was indeed true.

It seemed that Master Chen’s task for me was finally making progress!

The shopkeeper thought to himself, filled with pride.

However, he was completely unaware that at that moment, Xue An’s lips were gradually curling into a cold smile.

Although Xue An’s cultivation level was temporarily sealed, his sensory perceptions, far superior to ordinary people, were still intact.

Therefore, Xue An had noticed as soon as this shopkeeper entered that someone in the distance outside was spying on this place, their gaze filled with desire.

And the shopkeeper’s aggressive behavior as well as the greedy look he gave Chan’er all confirmed Xue An’s suspicions.

This guy must be manipulated by someone behind the scenes.

At that moment, Chan’er said somewhat irritably, “Shopkeeper Uncle, my young master has just recovered from a serious illness and is still very weak, so I hope you can speak more politely!”

“Polite?” the shopkeeper scoffed coldly. “Fine, bring out the Silver, and I promise to be very polite! If not, then quit your pretense!”

“You…” Ye Xiaochan was angered, her eyes brimming with tears.

Just then, a hand gently patted her slim shoulder.

“Chan’er, step aside!”

Ye Xiaochan was startled, then turned around.

She saw Xue An, who at some point had gotten out of bed and was now standing by the bed, smiling at her.

“Young master…” Ye Xiaochan said, worried.

Xue An waved his hand to indicate she should be silent, then looked at the shopkeeper opposite him and asked indifferently, “How much Silver do I owe you in total?”

The shopkeeper had intended to be sarcastic, but somehow, when he saw Xue An’s calm gaze, he inexplicably felt a chill down his spine and instinctively replied.

“A total of eighteen taels and three qian of Silver!”

“You’re talking nonsense, how could it be that much?” Ye Xiaochan said angrily, her face puffing up.

“Little girl, you’ve been delaying the payment of my shop’s rent for so long. Naturally, there’s interest. Compound interest, of course it would amount to that much!” the shopkeeper retorted coldly.

“You…” Ye Xiaochan wanted to say more.

Xue An said calmly, “Fine, I’ll give you twenty taels!”

What?

Twenty taels?

The shopkeeper and Chan’er both were stunned.

Afterward, the shopkeeper looked at Xue An with some surprise.

He suddenly realized that this scholar, who once seemed like a complete loser, now appeared to have transformed into a different person.

Although he was merely standing there, he exuded an inherent dignity and nobility without showing anger.

Even Mr. Chen did not possess such an aura.

The shopkeeper was somewhat taken aback, but still said, “Well then, bring it out!”

Saying so, he extended his hand toward Xue An.

Xue An responded indifferently, “But not now!”

The shopkeeper’s expression darkened, “Mr. Xue, are you intentionally making a fool of me?”

Xue An shook his head, “Of course not!”

“Then you…”

Xue An directly interrupted him, “At sunrise tomorrow, I guarantee you twenty taels of silver!”

“Heh, I could say that too, but who would believe it!” The shopkeeper’s face showed disdain, thinking Xue An was just stalling for time.

At that moment, Xue An pointed to Ye Xiaochan beside him and spoke faintly.

“If I can’t fulfill the promise by then, this maid of mine… will belong to you!”

The shopkeeper was stunned.

Ye Xiaochan was also dumbfounded.

It was only after a moment that the shopkeeper’s eyes gleamed with wild joy, “Mr. Xue, this is your own promise! I hope you keep your word at that time!”

Xue An nodded, “Of course!”

“Good! Very good, then I’ll give you one more day. Tomorrow at sunrise, I’ll come to collect the money! If you can’t produce it, heh, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

After saying that, the shopkeeper looked delightedly at the pale-faced Ye Xiaochan, pretending to express compassion, “Miss Chan’er, it seems your young master doesn’t treasure you that much!”

Having said that, the shopkeeper left with a smug look on his face.

When only Ye Xiaochan and Xue An were left in the room.

Ye Xiaochan cried out loud.

“Young master, you can’t abandon me, I will wash your clothes, cook for you, and even when I grow up, I can bear your children! Please don’t sell me to the shopkeeper!”

Saying this, Ye Xiaochan was about to kneel down.

Xue An quickly supported her, “Silly girl, how could I possibly sell you to them?”

“But…” Ye Xiaochan asked through her tears.

Xue An smiled, “Don’t worry, I have a plan by then!”

Ye Xiaochan wanted to ask more but dared not, the depths of her eyes still full of panic and despair.

When Xue An had been unconscious, the shopkeeper had tried several times to take advantage of her under various pretexts.

She had managed to fend him off each time.

She had hoped that when her young master awoke, things would take a turn for the better.

But unexpectedly, her young master was planning to sell her off.

Naturally, Ye Xiaochan’s heart was filled with gloomy despair.

After all, in her eyes, twenty taels of silver were an astronomical figure.

Impossible to gather in just one day.

At that moment, Xue An asked indifferently, “Are you hungry?”

Ye Xiaochan shook her head like a rattle-drum before looking cautiously at Xue An, “Young master, Chan’er is not hungry, Chan’er can go without food for three more days!”

She was terrified that if she admitted to being hungry, Xue An would definitively sell her off.

Xue An, feeling a pang of heartache, rubbed her little head gently, “Come on, you are still growing. What if you starve? Let’s go!”

“Young master, where to?”

“I’m taking you out for a big meal!”
